PasqalAbel looks upon the tech-barbarians with a moderate degree of curiosity, without attempting to approach or interact with them. Occasionally his gaze rests on some sacred item covered in tribal imagery or otherwise desecrated, and he raises his eyebrows, evidently pained.
YOU"Abel, why did you decide to come with us?"
Pasqal"The Cycle is on the verge of being discontinued. Doubt has opened its maw wide, bidding us enter."

YOU"Do you understand what is going on here?"
YOU"What do you make of this camp?"
Pasqal"The sacred Archeotech and the profane have mixed, like tainted water and sacred unguent."
PasqalSuddenly a smile appears on his face. "This has happened before. The spirit transcends the body. The matter in which it manifests itself is transformed into something more spirit-like."

YOU"What do you think happened to this ship?"
Pasqal"An epiphany. Followed by doubt. Followed by debate. Followed by Judgement— no, a lack of Judgement." Abel's speech becomes fragmentary. "A contradiction. A dilemma, resulting in antagonism..."
Pasqal"A conflict. There was a conflict here."

Pasqal"Now everything is clear. A battle was fought here, and during preparations for it, Amarnat declared the observatorium off-limits. Even to fellow servants of the Omnissiah, the Explorators. It was an internal conflict, and he expected his erstwhile tech-comrades to become his enemies."

PasqalQuiet and mysterious as always, Abel Haneumann's demeanour is a mixture of cautiousness and curiosity as he inspects the ship's ruined interior. When you approach him, he acknowledges you by saying softly, "Death's footsteps were heard here."

Entry point 3 of 4
PasqalAbel averts his eyes in embarrassment and says, almost shyly, "A hunt. The hunter is coming."
Pasqal"The hunter? The Maimed Hunter?" Pasqal places a mechadendrite claw on Abel's shoulder, demanding an answer. Abel nods. "The Maimed Hunter. That persona occurred in the data I decrypted. Unfortunately, the sum total of information on it is very near zero."
